The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective - Volume 2: Their Paths Cross Again Chapter 442 442: Her Response

“Marie I love you.” He finally said it… those three magic words.

Marie’s brain seemed like it malfunctioned after hearing those words. Her world suddenly stopped and all she could hear were those last three words Black Shadow had just said to her.

Badum! Badam! Badum!

Her heart raced even faster. She opened her mouth only to close it again without uttering a single word. She was at a loss for words. She was staring at him with her doe-like eyes. Her cheeks were scarlet red because she was fl.u.s.tered.

Black Shadow, on the other hand, felt nervous and uneasy. This was the first time he said those magic words to someone. But Marie just remained silent. He didn’t get any response from her.

‘! Why do I feel nervous and afraid of this? Am I that really bad at confessing? The detective is more romantic than me. He even used candles and flowers. I suck at this kind of thing.’ Black Shadow scolded himself.

After a while, Black Shadow released Marie’s face from his hands as he looked down. He felt like he was about to get rejected. Even though they already kissed, he was not sure if Marie felt the same way. Besides, they just met again after a long time and she didn’t recover her lost memory.

But he didn’t regret telling her about his feelings towards her. He followed Catseye’s advice. He needed to be true to himself. He loved her. He realized that he already fell in love with her even before he learned that she was a member of law enforcement.

He knew there would be pros and cons for this. Once Marie got her memory back then she would remember that he was a bad guy whom she was not supposed to love. He’s the bad guy she was chasing after in order to put him into prison.

Thinking about that, Black Shadow wondered how the Chief Detective and Catseye were able to maintain their strong relationship despite the fact that they were both different. There was a certain boundary between love and duty. But still, the two of them were going strong ever.

Would he ever experience that as well? Especially with Marie? Would he ever find his happy ending too just like Elle and Erick?

Black Shadow’s lips twitched into a bitter smile. He didn’t know what would happen in the future. He was a dangerous man, doing a very dangerous job. Who knows, he would be killed someday while doing his mission.

With that thought in mind, he was already happy that he experienced again how to love someone unconditionally. Even if Marie won’t love him back at least, he had spent time with her, sharing wonderful and memorable moments together.

He looked up to see her face once again. “It’s alright. You don’t have to give me an answer. I’m not expecting a response. I just want to tell you what I feel about you. I know it’s hard because you couldn’t remember me. I understand if you couldn’t love me back and if you already have a change of heart.”

“I said to you that I was your man. You don’t have to force yourself to be with me because a stranger like me just told you that. I don’t want to take advantage of your situation. I’m sorry.” Black Shadow softly said to Marie.

When Marie heard those words from him, she was awakened from her deep stupor. Then she saw his sad eyes looking straight at her.

“Brandon I-” Marie found her voice but Black Shadow stopped her from talking by putting a finger on her lips.

“I said, it’s alright. You don’t have to explain or answer it. No pressure, sweety.Shall we go now and continue our road trip?” Black Shadow concealed his sadness by smiling at her.

Black Shadow turned around to face his motorcycle. Then suddenly he felt soft arms wrapping his waist. Marie hugged him from behind. Black Shadow froze on his spot. Marie started to speak to him.

“Can you please hear me out first? This time let me speak and just Iisten to me. I’m sorry if I was silent a while ago. I couldn’t help it. I was just shocked. I feel like this was the first time I heard those words from you.”

“Yeah, I know There are memories of you that I couldn’t remember. I am always hoping that I will be able to remember them because I want to know how we met before. I want to remember every moment that we shared together before. It’s different from hearing the story from you or from another person. I want to remember it so badly!”

Black Shadow could hear the helplessness in her voice. He knew how hard it was for her not to remember the things she wanted to remember.

“I feel sad because no matter how hard I try I still can’t recover them. I also wanted to understand why my heart would always go wild whenever you were with me. My mind couldn’t remember but my heart could recognize you. I think it was the same feeling I was experiencing before every time I’m with you.”

“Brandon, you said you want to have a fresh start with me. Yes, I want that. You’re the only man who can make me feel this way. I know my heart. It is beating for you. Brandon My heart was telling me that I like you it’s telling me that… I love you.”

“Yeah, I think I still have feelings for you despite the fact I have amnesia despite the fact I have forgotten our past moments.” Marie also confessed her feelings for him. She just knew it. She could feel it even if her mind couldn’t remember him.

When Black Shadow heard that, he turned around to see her face. Without saying a word, he tilted her chin up and claimed her lips once again. This time his kiss became more aggressive and demanding. He wanted her to feel his love through this kiss.

Black Shadow felt very happy as if he was on cloud nine. He was overjoyed after knowing that Marie also had feelings for him.
